Still have to work out the financials/costs and understand the billing. We booked via booking.com which they made clear, so didn't help much in this regard. The walls in our room were very thin, so it was awkward when we heard the bed on the other side banging and squeaking, especially since I traveled with my just 12 year old daughter. A kettle in the room would have been a bonus.

Very unique place with lovely staff that was very helpful when we needed something, including some glasses instead of another set of plastic cups! Loved the decor and the ability to rent bikes, which was real special.

The Oxbow is an ideal location for us in downtown Eau Claire. The area is beautifully updated for easy walking, biking and enjoying outdoor spaces. The Oxbow has a wonderful restaurant on site and there are great restaurants/coffee shops/bars close by. Also easy to bring our dog when we want. So comfortable and ideal for us!

The decor is amazing. We love that all the furniture and doors and things were made out of wood from the local area. Very unique and cute motel.

Cool and hip motel-like hotel in a nice location near the river and within walking distance to town. Comfy room.

Such a warm welcome! The Oxbow is a thriving facet in the Eau Claire community. Not only supporting the businesses around them, but also supporting local talent, whether that be an emerging musician or an experimental.chef. It's just too bad I wasn't able to dine at the Lakely, at they accommodated me to make I got my drink with my token.

A boutique hotel in a university town with a bar attached with live music. Spacious rooms with a working record player and records you can check out. This is our second stay and we will be coming back!

Fabulous in every way - exactly how my friend and I were hoping it would be! Most wonderful staff, too, including the manager Sarah, who was at the front desk when we checked out and brought our excellent experience full circle with her kindness when we had a special request. We loved the bad/restaurant/music venue - so fun to chat while listening to talented locals perform live music (it was open mic night). Will stay here again for sure!

There is a smell of damp plaster or something similar in the communal areas but we spent very little time in that area, so no problem at all. Explained other people's comments, but as a minor thing it didn't bother us at all

Gorgeous hotel, not sure why there are negative reviews. Staff were very friendly and helpful, hotel is cute. Room was spacious and some drinks and other items can be bought on site. The little shop beside it is also great for gifts. Lovely location, a short walk to restaurants and shops and the nearby River Walk is beautiful

No complaints.

Very stylish hotel with lots of unique details: record players in rooms with access to the hotel record collection; local art on display; terrific food and drink menu; performing art space; etc.

The futon/couch in our room was not comfortable.

We loved the laid-back, artsy feel of the hotel. The location is superb. This section of Eau Claire is going through a rebirth and we were happy to take advantage. We had a 25-minute walk to a ballgame one night, and 15 minutes to live outdoor music the next. The city's magnificent trail system is just across the street. The Oxbow is also a terrific value. We will definitely be back.

Restaurant was not open on Sunday or Monday the only two days we were there

The location was perfect to walk around and see the downtown!

We never really found a good casual restaurant in our walks. Part of the problem could have been that we didn't really know what we wanted.

Loved the turntable in our room, with LPs at the reception area to check out (on an old library card check-out) and enjoy. Walked all over Eau Claire for dinner, then landed in the hotel's restaurant on drag bingo night instead. Great hors d'oeuvres and atmosphere.

Found garbage under the bed from previous occupancy

Friendly helpful staff. Great restaurant and atmosphere

Stairs up to the second level of flats had severe water damage, seemed like a tripping hazard/liability.

Close to the river, humble but aesthetically pleasing decor.

The hotel was unique with a great location and a friendly staff. Beds were comfortable and room was clean.

The road noise from Galloway St. was a bit more than expected, but not enough to be bothersome. It would have been even nicer if the Lakely restaurant offered breakfast.

The hotel was full of atmosphere with feeling of cozyness everywhere. The room was fairly basic, but the interior furnishings and the record player more than made up for it. The staff were friendly but not intrusive, and the fellow guests all seemed good mannered and courteous. Hotel was a short walk from downtown and the riverfront pathways, with many interesting shops and cafes in between.

The restaurant located in the hotel was delicious and the location was walkable to ice cream, coffee and breakfast locations.

It was as expected. Room was advertised as having a balcony. It was basically a motel with exterior hallway.

Staff was very friendly and helpful
